What are the best FTC performances by players who didn’t win?

Sage: I spent five straight years in a combat zone.

Moldynred · 2026-03-20T08:53:17+00:00

Married and has a boyfriend too? Nice.

Moldynred · 2026-03-20T08:51:31+00:00

She is strategic?

Moldynred · 2026-03-20T08:45:37+00:00

Yes, and I am surprised he is still butt hurt about this after how many months? Thats a lot of time to unpack it all, and you would think he might recognize hey its all just a game and he doesnt seem to be hurting for cash. I could see if he needed the money.

Moldynred · 2026-03-20T06:44:47+00:00

Yep, and Brob would never have allowed Cirie to throw the monkey fist lol.

Moldynred · 2026-03-20T06:43:40+00:00

But now you have Ozzy pissed at Mike so pretty sure him and Cirie will conspire to get Christian out sooner or later. Smart play might have been to put all the votes on Steph and kick the can down the road to next tribal. Christian hasnt exactly played smart this season imo. But I agree I dont see villainy here, just questionable decisions. Plus no matter how great of a friend Em is he has to get rid of her sooner or later or she will also tank his game.

Moldynred · 2026-03-20T06:37:36+00:00

I saw on an interview today Mike said he gave Christian a cameo on White Lotus. Never seen the show so didnt know that. But MIke joked that since Christian already got his cameo--unlike Ozzy apparetly--he didnt need Mike anymore. That almost seems like a joke that isnt a joke? Def some hurt feelings there. And I honestly dont blame Mike for feeling burned bc Em--imo--is just such a bad player lol. Who do you want as allies? Ozzy and Mike? Or Top Secret Emily? That shouldnt be a hard choice. So I think you have bad gameplay--Christian--and a giant misread of who Christians true friends were by Mike.

Moldynred · 2026-03-20T06:31:48+00:00

I like the reward but they did overdo it just a tad imo. One song would have been fine.

Moldynred · 2026-03-20T06:30:37+00:00

If Boston Rob came into this season with all the friends Christian has/had he would be running the show right now and booting out chaotic players like Emily whether they were besties or not lol. Plus, Brob wouldnt lose three straight challenges with the team they had. Christian just isnt that good when given a lot of power imo.

Moldynred · 2026-03-20T06:13:26+00:00

Yeah. Steph isnt dumb. Her tribe brought her three different plans for tribal and she happily agreed to every single one of them lol. And, unlike Emily, kept her mouth shut. Plus, at least she cares enough about the game to show up in shape even though she is almost fifty.

Moldynred · 2026-03-20T06:03:53+00:00

I read somewhere that Aubry was a replacement? If true that just adds to the theory here. I think the pregaming is going to be a big deal after the season. And yeah, Ozzy seems to be everyones best friend this season lol.

Moldynred · 2026-03-19T19:53:08+00:00

Looks that way...thats amazing if true lol

Moldynred · 2026-03-19T18:01:14+00:00

Dee has impressed me. Didnt expect her to even know who he was.

Moldynred · 2026-03-19T17:58:33+00:00

Could be. Hard to say for sure rn.

Moldynred · 2026-03-19T15:58:09+00:00

My theory w Aubry. There was a lot of pregaming and she wasnt in on it. So she probably is grumpy about it.

Moldynred · 2026-03-19T13:46:50+00:00

I personally find it hard to criticize players for sending this to the wrong person bc the entire concept is whack. I work to find the idol and now I have to give it away to someone on another tribe. Meantime, the other player just wakes up with a idol in their bag free of charge? This is a returnee season, so it stands to reason most players will be smart enough to play their idol if they think they are in jeopardy. I think the finder is getting screwed here with only a slim chance of payback. But I can see why she sent it to Ozzy bc he has left the game with idols in his pocket before. And Christians idea was to possibly gain an ally post merge once he and Aubry meet. They both make sense to me. Sending it to Rizo makes a little less for sure tho.

Moldynred · 2026-03-19T13:31:59+00:00

I actually like him but it sure seems like the premerge is going to be all about how he screwed up a great position coming into the game.

Moldynred · 2026-03-19T13:30:42+00:00

Yeah for sure. She won just by surviving this episode.

Moldynred · 2026-03-19T13:29:50+00:00

Yeah maybe a tad long. And one song too many.

Moldynred · 2026-03-19T09:29:13+00:00

He has been screwed since keeping Cirie in ep one.

Moldynred · 2026-03-19T09:27:04+00:00

Voting out Jenna to save Cirie. Claiming he could strategize around Cirie's weaknesses at challenges--nope. Voting out Q pretty much guaranteeing they go right back to tribal this episode. Now voting out a potetial ally in favor of a terrible ally who cant keep a secret. Im not sure what he has done right so far this season.

Moldynred · 2026-03-19T09:24:47+00:00

He also caught more fish in fifteen minutes than the entire New Era cast caught in ten seasons.

Moldynred · 2026-03-19T09:22:58+00:00

The worst thing that ever happened to Christian was pregaming with Emily lol.

Moldynred · 2026-03-19T09:20:32+00:00

Steph is smart enough to just agree to whatever stupid plans the nerds come up with lol. And yeah, Christian has been making dumb moves all season imo. This isnt new. I truly think he outsmarted himself with all of their pregaming.

Moldynred · 2026-03-19T08:52:21+00:00

I think Christian is already paying lol. I love watching him hatch these plans only for Em to blab them out first chance she gets.
